AM Race in Brown Co. State Park.  Was supposed to be on trail, but, the ridiculous mountain bike community raised such a stink about trail running on "mountain bike" trails, that it was moved to a different course on the road.  70% of mountain bikers and 90% of facebook chatter came from 200lb + guys who get on those trails there and ride on the "fat tires".  With all the rain and a thaw/freeze they thought 100 or so runners would cause too much damage to the trails on a cold morning.  Funny that I saw about 20 cars with bike racks parked at the trail head of those same trails this morning...

Anyway - it was about 25 degrees and the road was icy in spots and and an absolute skating rink at the top of the climb.  Warmed up with Danny Fisher and Mr. Wagner on the hill of the couse and discoverd all the fun waiting for us.  The race was an out (up) and back (down).  Climb for 2.6 miles, skating rink at the top of the climb/turn around (where about 50 slipped and fell, including me), and 2.6 miles back down.  Managed about 6:20ish average pace, 5:30is for last 2 miles  on the downhill portion.  

33:18 for 5.19 miles and 8th place.  Awesome soup, fire, and Ugo bars at the finish.
